Did anyone else watch Birds of Prey on the CW? (Before it was the CW)

I didn't watch "Birds Of Prey" all episodes until it came out on Hulu. But it was on 2002-2003. I think I watched the first couple of episodes, but it reminded me of "Dark Angel" and I was still pissed that Fox renewed then canceled it last minute....so I didn't watch anymore episodes. Then it came out on Hulu so I decided to watch it and loved it. I would love for Dina Meyer to come on Supergirl in a guest appearance.

I would love for Ashley Scott to come on too. The acting in that show wasn't great, but those two were spot on!

I actually met Rachel Skarsten a few years ago, and she said she had a really good time filming on the show and that she was sad it got axed. She's very nice.

I recall watching it when it was on, purely for Batgirl/Oracle and remember thoroughly enjoying Dina Meyer in the role.

I also quite liked the Batgirl costume she wore in a couple of episodes.

If there was ever a reboot, she would have to reprise her role as Barbara, no question. Ashley Scott did a great job as Helena, but to me, Dina IS Barbara.

I did; I also just came up with a rebooted version of the series that retains most of its elements, but also adds a few new ones.

I would have enjoyed it if the Birds of Prey comic wasn't a thing. The actors involved were okay, but the plot was garbage, in my opinion. Ranging from Batman abandoning Gotham, his daughter with Catwoman, Huntress, being a Metahuman, to Dinah being the telepathic daughter of Black Canary. I think they were trying a bit TOO hard to be like Dark Angel.

Again, as a standalone series, it could have been fun. But as a fan of Gail Simone's runs on the Birds of Prey comics, and her how she wrote Barbara, Helena, and Dinah from the comics, I just couldn't enjoy it. And Helena and Dinah were Helena Bertinelli (not related to Batman) and Dinah Lance (the actual Black Canary).

I think, in their eagerness to try and do make it their own, they changed too much. There are a few good episodes. But the series really doesn't stand out for me as anything more than a lost opportunity.

The most redeeming episode is the one where Barbara got her legs back, for an episode, to face Shiva as Batgirl.

For those who haven't seen it, the entire run (all 13 episodes! ) is now on DC Universe.

The actresses were fine, but the show was doomed by it's heavily rewritten premise and the subsequent poor writing....Turning Black Canary into a probationer and Huntress into an ill defined metahuman were very bad creative decisions indeed.

I've seen Birds of Prey during its run at the time. The only things they got right was Alfred and Barbara Gordon/ Oracle and her flashbacks as Batgirl. Turning Huntress into a metahuman and Black Canary into some runaway just didn't work.
